Read it here: mailchi.mp/3d371f2d9cb4/clbc-update-for-individuals-families-november-19-edition?e=[UNIQID]Community Living BC is working with partners to find ways to support people to stay safe and connected through the COVID-19 pandemic. The BC Self Advocacy community has an important role to play to help lead this effort.
CLBC has posted an Expression of Interest (EOI) for an independent self advocacy group (or groups) to organize and offer safe ways for people with diverse abilities to connect with others during COVID.
We will be awarding grants for the period of January 2021 – August 2021.
The grant for the successful applicant(s) will be to hire self advocates to do this leadership work and pay for administrative and technical supports as needed.
Find all the details, including information about how to apply, at the link below.
The application deadline is Friday, December 11, 2020.
